As soon as Caixing returned home, she heard that something big had happened in Mrs. Bai's courtyard, so she hurriedly rushed to Ren's courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, what I saw was the maids and women kneeling all over the courtyard. Caixing was panicking for no reason. She had a gut feeling that something big was going to happen in the Bai Mansion! She quickly ordered people to invite Bai Shiheng and his son who were in the wing!
"Miss……"
Cai Xing hesitated at his feet, but despite Bai Jingxuan's rage, he moved to Bai Yanqing's side. She called to Bai Yanqing in a low voice, and looked at her eyes that were red from crying. She felt heartbroken. She hurriedly took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of Bai Yanqing's eyes.
Cai Xing was puzzled. She had just been out for a while, so why did such a big thing happen in Bai Mansion?
Bai Yanqing, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, Bai Furong, who was wiping cold sweat, the old lady of the Bai family, who closed her eyes tightly and let her tears fall down the pillow, Aunt Shen who was lying on the ground shivering, and the maid and mother-in-law who were kneeling on the ground... ...It all shows that something terrible is happening in the Bai family right now!
When Bai Shiheng and his son received the report from the servants and hurried over, they were also frightened by the sight in front of them!
At this moment, the cup in Bai Jingxuan's hand was crushed by him! The shards of the cup pierced into his palm, and blood dripped down his fingertips to the ground, but he seemed to have lost consciousness and could only stare at Aunt Shen fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow her up!
"Brother, what happened?"
Bai Shiheng stepped forward and looked at the mess on the floor of the house and Bai Jingxuan's injuries, panicking. He has never seen Bai Jingxuan get so angry!
"Jinchu was an upright and kind-hearted person. Since she married into my Bai family, she has been filial to her mother-in-law and treated her servants well. She has never treated you harshly! Why, why do you insist on putting her to death??"
Bai Jingxuan's words seemed to be addressed to Aunt Shen, but in fact he was questioning Mrs. Ren. However, Mrs. Ren is now speechless and can only close her eyes tightly, too embarrassed to look at her son!
"The old lady said... that she had found someone to settle the matter, Ji... the young lady was destined not to have a son... so... so the old lady wanted the Prime Minister to divorce his wife and marry another one! But the Prime Minister and his wife were extremely loving, so ...The old lady came up with this strategy... just so that the prime minister can remarry someone who can give birth to a legitimate son for the Bai family..."
Aunt Shen lay on the ground tremblingly, stumbling, and explained the cause of the matter.
It is no secret that the Ren family favors sons over daughters. In the White Mansion, everyone knows this. If not, why did the servants in the White Mansion, who always followed the wind, treat Bai Yanqing so lightly in the past few years? Isn't it because they have Mrs. Bai as an example that they follow her example?
Bai Jingxuan naturally knew something about Ren's temper, but he didn't know that his mother actually killed his wife for the sake of his children! This involves a human life, and it is not just a matter of prejudice and neglect!
Bai Furong and Bai Shiheng and his son who were present were also shocked after hearing what Nanny Shen said! Naturally, they also knew about Ren's temperament, and he was always very talkative and cruel, but they never expected that Ren would dare to take a life! The person he was harming was Bai Yanqing’s biological mother, Bai Jingxuan’s wife, and Ji Jinchu, the biological daughter of the dignified general who ruled the country! If the Ji family really knew about this, not only the life of the Ren family would be lost, but also the lives of the entire Bai family, including more than a hundred people, would be at stake!
I have to say, Ren is really stupid and vicious!
"Things have come to this point. Do you really have the heart to send your mother to the police for investigation? My mother is in such a bad state! She can't stand the trouble anymore! I hope my brother will spare her for the sake of my mother's serious illness. Just once!"
Bai Furong knelt down with a pop, biting her lip, letting the big tears fall down, but not daring to raise her hand to wipe them! They were afraid that as soon as Bai Jingxuan opened his mouth, his mother would be sent to prison!
"Yan Qing, Yan Qing, please ask your father to show mercy!"
Seeing that Bai Jingxuan didn't speak, Bai Furong panicked and hurriedly crawled to Bai Yanqing's feet, begging her to speak!
"Aunt, the person my grandmother poisoned to death was my mother! She was my biological mother, Bai Yanqing! I have tolerated her for many years,
But what about her? How did she treat me so harshly? You are not unclear! Now, you want me to intercede for my mother-killing enemy. Where do you put me? "
No matter how confused Bai Furong is on weekdays, Bai Yanqing will just think that she is soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and will not argue with her, but this matter now involves human lives! Regarding the death of Bai Yanqing's biological mother, Bai Furong actually dared to come over and beg Bai Yanqing to let Bai Yanqing let go of the Ren family. How could Bai Yanqing not be heartbroken?
Lai Bizhi, who heard the news, also hurried over in a hurry! As soon as she entered the room, she heard what Nanny Shen said, so she had a rough idea of what happened. Looking again, her confused mother actually hugged Bai Yanqing's leg and begged Bai Yanqing to forgive her grandmother! Lai Bizhi secretly screamed in her heart, so she no longer cared about her dignity, and quickly stepped forward and pulled Bai Furong away!
"Mother, you are confused!"
Lai Bizhi quickly helped Bai Furong out of the house and repeatedly called her confused.
At this time, Bai Furong was also crying. When she came back to her senses, she realized that what she had just said and done was inappropriate, and she felt secretly guilty in her heart! However, Ren is also her biological mother, so how can she let her mother live and die?
"Yan Qing, you... have known this for a long time, right?"
At this moment, Bai Jingxuan sat aside with his head hunched, dejected and confused.
"I fell into the water when I was a child and had a high fever. I couldn't remember certain things clearly. A few days ago... after I became seriously ill and had a high fever, I suddenly remembered some things again!"
After Bai Yanqing thought for a moment, he returned to the truth. Of course, what she said was half true and false.
Bai Yanqing subconsciously pinched the letter hidden in her sleeve and found a suitable excuse.
When Ji Jinchu drank the bowl of soup, Bai Yanqing was indeed in her room, and she did see Ji Jinchu vomiting blood with her own eyes, but... Bai Yanqing couldn't remember the fire that happened afterwards. She couldn't remember clearly. Was it the fire set by someone sent by the Ren family? Because at that time, Bai Yanqing could only vaguely see the figure of an old woman, who looked like she was in the Ren family's house!
"You remember what happened when you were a child, why didn't you talk to your father earlier?"
At this time, Bai Jingxuan's mind gradually calmed down. He began to wonder, since his daughter had already remembered these things, why didn't she tell him earlier? Why hide it from him?
"What if I had told my father a long time ago? Would my father really ignore his filial piety and send my grandmother to the government? Today... I was speaking out of necessity in the moment, but I was just talking to myself, and I didn't I once thought about being listened to by my father!"
Bai Yanqing blocked all Bai Jingxuan's questions with just a few words.
Yes, even if Bai Yanqing had told his father these things a long time ago, he probably wouldn't really abandon his filial piety and send his biological mother to the official for investigation!
For a moment, Bai Jingxuan and others were lost in thought. What should we do?
Bai Shiheng naturally did not dare to speak, after all, the matter involved the Ren family. If he really spoke up and gave his advice at this time, if Ren recovers her health in the future, she might be able to retaliate against him!
"Then send it to Zhuangzi!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Ren on the bed, her eyes filled with coldness.
"Since my father can't give up his filial piety and refuses to send my grandmother to the government, then he should send my grandmother to Zhuangzi to be raised!"
Seeing that Bai Jingxuan was struggling to make a decision, Bai Yanqing had no choice but to say bluntly that controlling her, her granddaughter, would not please the Ren family, and she was not afraid that the Ren family would cause trouble for her in the future!
"Zhuangzi outside the city is quite clean. It's the most suitable place for my grandmother to recover from her illness."
Thinking back then, didn't Ren use such an excuse to send Bai Yanqing away?
"Besides, there are still a few empty houses in the village on the outskirts of the city. Soon I will have people repair them and build a Buddhist temple. This will also allow my grandmother to calm down and listen to others reciting sutras. Please chant sutras and pray for our Bai family, and bless our Bai family to be safe and sound!"
Bai Yanqing's words seemed to be said beautifully, but who couldn't understand the underlying meaning? Build a Buddhist temple? Doesn't that mean that Ren has committed many sins, so let her atone for her sins?
"Okay, let's leave this matter to Yan Qing!"
Bai Jingxuan
After saying that, Tibu left, and he never looked back until he left the yard!
Seeing Bai Jingxuan walking away, Bai Yanqing raised her sleeves and wiped away the tears on her face!
"Mother Shen and Lian'er, please accompany the old lady to Zhuangzi to purify your heart!"
Bai Yanqing stared at Aunt Shen lying on the ground. It was rare that she did not embarrass her.
"Miss, why do I... my servant also want to go with me? This slave is not from the old lady's courtyard. Shouldn't the maids from the old lady's courtyard accompany me on such an errand?"
Lian'er Kankan'er was kneeling at the door. When she heard Bai Yanqing's words, she immediately became anxious! Not caring about anything else, he got up and entered the house, ran to Bai Yanqing and shouted.
"Don't you know who you belong to?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Lian'er coldly, making her feel frightened!
"Slave... This slave is naturally from the young lady's courtyard!"
Lian'er lowered her head, a little at a loss, and her answer was also ambiguous. She only said that she was from Bai Yanqing's courtyard, but she did not answer directly, who did she belong to!
"Really? I'm afraid, your people are in my courtyard, but your heart... is with the old lady, right? If I remember correctly, your natal family all work in the old lady's natal home!"
Bai Yanqing stared directly at Lian'er, her eyes full of sarcasm.
As early as when Bai Yanqing first returned to the Bai Mansion, she secretly sent someone to check on Lian'er and learned that she was brought into the Bai family by Aunt Shen. At that time, Bai Yanqing was already a little suspicious! Later, he borrowed Ji Nanjing's people to find out the details of Lian'er!
Lian'er was originally from her natal family and worked as a helper in the Ren Mansion. Her mother and father were both children of the Ren Mansion. Later, seeing her cleverness, Aunt Shen took her back to Bai Mansion.
Ren originally planned to put Lian'er in Bai Jingxuan's house. After all, Lian'er is handsome and flexible. If she can really attract Bai Jingxuan's attention, she can give birth to a son and a half for the Bai family in the future, which will be great! But after Ji Jinchu passed away, Bai Jingxuan didn't even look at the woman next to him! No matter how Lian'er tried her best, Bai Jingxuan still treated her as if she was nothing!
Later, when Bai Yanqing returned home, the Ren family sent Lian'er to Nianchu Xiaozhu, firstly to monitor Bai Yanqing's every move, and secondly, to find opportunities to harm Bai Yanqing.
Ren's calculations are very good, but no matter how good she is, she can't be as good as Bai Yanqing! In private, Bai Yanqing had already asked Cai Xing to keep an eye on Lian'er secretly. That time Lian'er was punished in Ren's courtyard was just a deliberate act by Ren to deceive Bai Yanqing! In fact, Lian'er's injuries were not serious that time, and her pitiful appearance was all just an act! Those injuries were just superficial wounds and they were healed within two days!
Grandma Li, who applies medicine for Lian'er every day, knows all this best!
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li were originally sent here by the Ji family and were originally members of Bai Yanqing's mother's family. They were only devoted to the Ji family and Bai Yanqing. Naturally, they would not hide these things from Bai Yanqing!
